link href

[Prophet]

I am new to web design.

I want to have my links change color when the mouse is over top of the link.
(example on : http://www.mytelus.com/home_page.html - the green tags)
I have looked at a couple of pages which do this. and have determined that
the following code is the key :
<link href="/css/homepage.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"
/>
as I am new and learning by doing, can someone explain this to me or send me
to a link that can?
Thanks

Hi

You can set rollovers for the whole page in Frontpage if you go to the page
properties, Advanced tab and click enable hyperlink rollover effects. Then
click the roll over style button and set your rollover settings. If you
want to do it in CSS which is better because it gives you more choices by
being able to set more than one style for a page - try a search on the web
under CSS Styles or check out

That may give you some hints on how to do it

Hope this helps

That code links to a stylesheet for the page. In the stylesheet there are
definitions for how to format (and position) content on the page. Among
other things, most likely the stylesheet contains rules for how to handle
various link states - how does an unvisited link (hyperlink) on the page
look, how does a visited one look, how does one that you are hovering over
look, etc. These are called 'pseudo-classes' and their look and behavior is
only a small part of what CSS is about.

If you are serious about being a part of web design, study all you can get
your hands on about HTML and CSS. It will make learning any program so much
easier....
